Kamala lost because of Hollywood

Hollywood Elected Donald Trump  


By James Terminiello 

On the surface, this notion is absurd.  In the just-ended presidential election, Hollywood went needles over Botox for Kamala Harris. The likes of Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks, and Cardis A and B were effusive in their limitless support. And yet, Hollywood was a major factor in the re-election of Donald Trump. 

You see, Hollywood is all about image and casting. In bygone days, if a role called for say a middle-aged alcoholic, Hollywood could summon a bevy of experienced actors to embody that character. And good drama ensued. Now that system is in tatters. Today, DEI, Black Lives Matters, political correctness, and a general orneriness about type-casting has put black men in Roman general garb, Asian women as turn of the century test pilots, and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of OZ!  All-in-all, unconvincing. 

And this brings us to the unlamented Kamala Harris.  

The connection between the Democrat Party and Hollywood is solid and long-standing, and it is obvious Hollywood casting consultants were consultified when it came to choosing a presidential candidate.  

Here the Democrats had befuddled old Joe Biden waving at pixies in the White House and the election was looming closer. A decision had to be made. There was Kamala Harris, already chosen by the DEI Central Committee to play the role of Vice President. She had managed to stay below the radar for 3 ½ years aside from a brief trip to the Mexican border for a cup of decaffeinated coffee.  

The consultants ran though their casting book. 

She is female. Hollywood loves modern females. Makes them 23-year-old fire chiefs, master spies who can body toss 300-pound bad guys, and javelin flipping warrior-queens in video-game-inspired superhero movies. 

She is ethnic. And even better, non-descript ethnic. Possibly Indian. Possibly black. Possibly anything they want. This is gold. Checks off so many political boxes. 

She can dance. This new category is growing in stature since all public figures today are required to dance to appeal to multiple ethnic groups. (The cherubic 4th Stooge Tim Walz is a good example) Sources report that the comic Ellen DeGeneres discovered that she could dance inanely on a half-hour talk show and save money on guests.  Brilliant! Hollywood never went back. 

She never took a serious position on anything. Excellent. She is a blank slate and can support whatever she is told to support. Ideology just gets in the way.  

She is photogenic. Top drawer stuff. Big smile, nice hair, and fills out a pants suit in ways that Hillary Clinton never could. A fashionable presidential candidate is fresh and diverting! 

The consultants came back to the Democrats and said “Push the button on Kamala” And Joe Biden got the quick hook.  

But there was one error. An error that Hollywood was constitutionally incapable of identifying and one that the Democrats hoped the voting population would not notice.  

Yes, Kamala Harris fit the bill. Youngish, vivacious, attractive, energetic, and willing to go the distance.  She left the starting gate in a mad, sparkling rush. Everybody liked the new item on the menu. A paid-for media syncophanted with gusto.  She shot into the lead.  

So, what happened?  

Nothing.  Lots of nothing.

As the weeks spun by, the voting populace began to notice that beneath the glitter of her campaign was more glitter. Beyond that, additional glitter. Glitter all the way down. And nothing else. She was substance-free. 

Hollywood and the Democrats believed that the voting populace would take to her like 14-year-old girls take to Taylor Swift. But Taylor Swift does not have to deal with inflation, a broken border, or Vladimir Putin. And no one expects her to. In Kamala’s case, more was expected by the voters and nothing was delivered. They balked. Enter Donald Trump 2.0.     

Regarding the Kamala Harris campaign, Shakespeare summed it best.:  

  “It is a tale told by an idiot,  

full of sound and fury,  

signifying nothing”

The October 7 attack was inevitable

  Why was  October 7 inevitable ?   One word: Extortion By James Terminiello     It’s difficult now but if you run a web search to find images of the Gaza Str i p before the current war , you w ould encounter a  place of wrenching poverty ; decay ; and , until recently , qui e t despair .     As an economic entity Gaza could not and did not operate without funds injected from many sources including the U.S., some Arab nations, and, yes, Israel. Naturally, as with all aid from afar, too much of it finds its way into the wrong pockets most of the time. As a place to live Gaza practically stewed in depression which easily and naturally turns into envy and fury - particularly when you see other nations prospering on your mobile device.     Isr ael’s forlorn hope was that if you lined the pockets of Hamas and other minor semi-political, semi-military, semi-religious organizations with extortion money they would slurp up the cream and use the meager rest to keep the popul

Migrants and Medicaid - Someone is going to pay the price

Migrants and Medicaid – The Not-So-Hidden Costly Consequences     By James Terminiello     Full disclosure first: I have a 35-year-old son, permanently disabled at age 3, who receives Medicaid... for the moment.     Following a toss-the-baby-out-with-the-bathwater strategy, the federal government is revisiting all those on Medicaid as part of the “unwinding of the Medicaid continuous enrollment program” that extended coverage to a considerable swath of people during the pandemic. (1) The fact that my son and many others like him qualified for and received Medicaid years before COVID-19 reared its ugly head seems to be of little relevance. And bureaucracies being the glacially swift entities that they are, my son’s coverage could potentially slip away long before they review his case – which , by the way, is designated with an ominously long ten-digit number.     Running concurrent with this impending slow-motion trainwreck is a national push to extend Medicaid coverage to the ongoi

Yuletide Don'ts from The Ghost of Christmas Past

  Warnings from the Ghost of Christmas Past     By G. C. Past      I am the Ghost of Christmas Past and I manifest each year at this time to give warning to those who commit unpardonable seasonal transgressions that a more forgiving deity might, and I say might , overlook.      Hear me and reform, lest I haunt you to your air-parched, terminal breath.      Place not on thy innocent lawn those hideous inflatable yuletide decorations. When the blessed sun doth crack the dawn, they deflate and resemble crime scene pools of blood and smashed egg yolks . In short, they infect the eyes! Away with them!     Gift not the decorative wine stopper for it shall be abandoned with lightening haste in early January at your local thrift shop. Many pine away on haunted shelves at this very moment subject to their latest, and not last, re-gifting. Know well that those w ho drink deep of the fermented grape drain each soldier to the last and need not save even a dribble of the dregs for future imbibing.
